According to "wisestep: verbal communication" comes the following...

Positives:
1. Saves Time: You can give direct orders to your subordinates. Get instructions on a matter within a few minutes. Convey your message at a rapid speed. The verbal form of communication gives you this facility to quickly send the intended message; saving you time.

2. Clarity: If the message provided is in written format, the receiver can re-read the contents and clarify any doubt at the later moment. With this, questions can be asked from both parties to clarify the message if in doubt.

Negatives:
1. Create a misunderstanding: Usually, when two individuals are having deep conversations, they can have some misunderstandings during the time. Sometimes subtle hints are given or some words spoken with some intention get misinterpreted and a whole new different meaning comes out of it. Basically what has been said, cannot be taken back.

2.Irrelevant information:
While having an important discussion, a lot of irrelevant information can creep in during a conversation leading to a waste of time and gap in the relevant information. This leads to unnecessary time waste and sometimes omitting or forgetting to converse on what is really important.
